(a) Emission of microwave radiation from the J = 1→ 0 transition of a molecule has been detected at 88.63 GHz from a region of interstellar space in which there is evidence of thermal equilibrium and a temperature of around 20 K. Estimate the frequency and relative intensity of the J = 2 → 1 transition of the same molecule.
